Craig's Treatment

*June 2024*

Lots has been happening! Over the past year Craig has made many trips to the BodyScience Clinic in Miami where is he receiving the most amazing care. You can check out the process here https://www.facebook.com/share/XbbKFtqPNjKA2Vfo/?mibextid=K35XfP

Craig has recently started to show signs of improvement with things such as strength in facial muscles and speech!

It truly is amazing and can’t thank everyone enough for the continued support. Let’s keep it going…this is just the beginning!!

*April Update* Craig has returned (April 21st) from another week of treatment. Things are moving along. He heads back for 2 weeks in May!

**ANOTHER February Update** Change in plans! Craig's SOT (his individualized treatment) is ready so he's heading back to the facility in Florida this Saturday (February 25th) for a week! The sooner he starts, the better so this is great news. Keep Craig in your thoughts, it's been working so far!!

*February Update* Craig is home from his first treatment!! His time spent there has been life-changing and he is already anxious to get back. Thank you again, everyone, for making all of this possible!! ❤️ Your continued support is appreciated and will help make April happen! 

*January Update* Craig had made it to the US and begins treatment tomorrow (Jan. 9th)!!

**UPDATE** Craig's first trip (out of the three he will take) is booked. He begins in January!

My name is Ainslie Marchand, and I'm writing to you for your help with getting a very close friend of mine, someone I consider a brother, a treatment that could save his life.

When you think of Craig Marchand, you think of someone who is full of life - constantly on the go and up for anything. Someone who would give you the shirt off his back if you needed it. Someone who deserves to live a long, happy life with his wife, two children, and the many close family and friends he cherishes.

Just this past June, Craig and his family were hit hard with the devastating news that he has ALS. At 35, this was an absolute shock and still is. Luckily, Craig has found a facility with promising treatments for which he is a prime candidate. He has had a consultation and has started the necessary steps to enter this program. There's one thing standing in his way, and that is, of course, the expenses.

The treatment will require several trips to a facility in the United States as it is not offered in Canada. Each trip lasting a couple of weeks. The only thing even close to easy about it all is the decision. It will have its toll on Craig and his family aside from the expenses, so I ask that you please consider supporting him. Every dollar counts and will go directly to Craig to be used toward the treatment.

On behalf of Craig's family & friends, we can't thank you enough for your support.
